On the occasion of the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, a detachment of UNIFIL’s Force Commander Reserve participated in the “Tyre By Bike” event on 8 April 2017. 

Some 400 children participated in the event that was jointly organized by UNMAS (United Nations Mine Action Service) and LMAC (Lebanon Mine Action Center).

The purpose of the event was to raise awareness among Lebanese children on the dangers of unexploded ordnances (UXOs) and explosive remnants of war (ERWs) in order to reduce accidents.
